movie review - Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2004.12.27

When I was leaving the cinema at the end of the third volume of the Lord of the Rings movie, I realized that I'd just witnessed the high point of my movie-going career, and that it would be mostly downhill from there.

I had no idea how quickly and how far that downward ride would go, until the 1/4 mark of Anchorman. This movie is just plain appalling. Unfunny, painfully lowbrow, and pointless.

Not recommended.
